Anne Hathaway: 'I'm now open to getting married'

Anne Hathaway has revealed that she has changed her views on marriage since watching a close friend walk down the aisle.

The One Day actress, who has been in a relationship with Adam Shulman for three years, admitted that she is now open to the institution after seeing how happy it can make people.

Hathaway told Interview: "I am open to marriage, actually. I just went through a phase where I wanted to look at it from every angle to make sure that I wasn't just falling in step with some kind of prescribed fantasy.

"I was at my best friend's wedding just two days ago, and I watched this person who I love like a sister, and who has changed my life and continues to change my life for the better, who I feel as close to as I do my family, commit herself to a man who she loves, and I watched how happy it made her.

"I mean, she looked like she was riding a bubble the whole night. I thought, 'Weddings are important because they celebrate life and possibility'."

The 28-year-old said that her change of attitude has pleased Shulman because she no longer complains about marriage.

"There's a smile on [Adam's] face - mainly because I've been such a pain the past few months, going, 'Well, is marriage really a tool of oppression?' or, 'It was once just an exchange of property!' I have been utterly without romance regarding marriage for the past few months, so I think he's relieved that I'm kind of over it," she added.
